Screening for inhibitors of mutacin synthesis in Streptococcus mutans using fluorescent reporter strains

BACKGROUND: Within the polymicrobial dental plaque biofilm, bacteria kill competitors by excreting mixtures of bacteriocins, resulting in improved fitness and survival. Inhibiting their bacteriocin synthesis might therefore be a useful strategy to eliminate specific pathogens. We used Streptococcus...
